Chase Elliott showed his fastest recent pace at times in this past weekend's Richmond race, where his second-place qualifying run was his best since the 2022 fall Martinsville race. He was very fast in the wet portion of the Toyota Owners 400, taking the lead from teammate Kyle Larson on the opening lap before Larson retook it on lap six. However, Elliott faded in the middle portions of the race and fell outside the top ten before he quietly sneaked back into contention with a fifth-place finish after benefiting when some faster cars faced misfortune. Although Elliott had his best driver rating of the season at 98.6 in addition to his best finish, he didn't run as well as that implied as he only ranked tenth in speed despite his early race pace. However, his solid run was a positive step forward for a team that has had little to celebrate lately.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
